That has come as a shock to the Old Trafford club’s Serbia defender, as in addition to him, United have another four senior central defenders in Rio Ferdinand, Jonny Evans, Phil Jones and Chris Smalling.

Vidic is expected to seek assurances from Moyes during United’s pre-season tour of the Far East and Australia that he is central to the new manager’s plans.

The centre-back has been hampered by knee problems in the last two seasons.

United travel to Thailand this week and their first match of the Moyes era is in Bangkok on Saturday.
